Grizzly PE • This semester, we will also have the ability to add new periods of PE called Grizzly PE. • Grizzly PE is for any student that received a D, F, or low C in PE last semester. • Additionally, students may be added to Grizzly PE at the discretion of the teacher (did you not dress quite often last semester? Were you not involved in games/activities? Did you have a poor attitude?) • Grizzly PE will follow a different format than other sections of PE – with the same grading scale – but it will NOT be as fun. • Grizzly PE students will spend most days on the track or doing fitness activities…it’s our way of making sure you pass PE! You’re welcome.
